On Collecting Art > Lynn and Dan Tarrence live in Milwaukee, where she works as an interior designer and he helps investors support environmentally sustainable companies. Their collecting journey began with a shared love of vintage black-and-white photographs featuring such iconic figures as Frida Kahlo, Jacqueline Kennedy, and Paul McCartney. In 2016, when Dan was serving on a nonprofit board, he was invited by a fellow trustee to visit his newly opened Lily Pad West Gallery.
